I was awoken by (probably) the sound of wheelie bins being blown down

street. No doubt they had been put out for an early morning collection.

Did they have wheelie bins as early as 1987? I thought they came in a bit

Exactly my thoughts on reading that!

Schools and hospitals had large wheeled bins in the 1970s.
